Q: Lion Upgrade problems

Hello I need some help. I have a Macbook Pro with a Core 2 Duo Intel Processor. I have done a clean install with Snow Leopard and I am running 10.6.8 right now. I have purchased Lion and Mountain Lion to try and upgrade this but whenever I run the installer it completes through the process and goes to reboot. When the computer restarts it hangs at the Apple logo startup screen and does not complete the install. The macbook is 2006 or 2007 maybe all silver aluminum with the silver keys. I have reset the SMC and everything still the same problem. Can someone help me try to upgrade this to lion or something. Please any ideas will help Thanks again

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Make sure your Mac meets v10.8 Mountain Lion requirements > OS X Mountain Lion system requirements - Apple Support

If you aren't sure how much free space there is, right or control click your Macintosh icon on your desktop then click Get Info.

In the Get Info panel you will see: Capacity & Available

Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space before upgrading to a newer OS X.
